Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD


New YORK, September "A few
interesting facts in railroad matters
were made public this afternoon. AT
ter breaking off his negotiations with
Ives & Co., Garrett went to London,
where the negotiations were continued
with J. S. Morgan and to-day deal
was announced, connecting the West
Shore settlement with the New York
Central and the forming of a syndicate
to reorganize that company.
THE CONTRACTING PARTIES.
For the Baltimore and Ohio prop
erty parties the contractors are the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway Com
pany, and syndicate composed of ].
S. Morgan & Co., Barring Brothers &
Co.. Brown, Shipley & Co., of London,
Drexel, Morgan, Kidder, Peabody
4 Co., and Brown Bros, of this city,
and Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia
The most important point in the con-
tract provides that the management
of the company shall be placed in
competent hands satisfactory to the
syndicate.
CAssATT TO SUCCEED GARRETT.
A, j. Cassatt, vice-president of the
Pennsylvania railway, is generally be-
lieved to be booked as Garrett's sue
cessor. Satisfactory contracts are
also to be made with the Pennsylva-
mia and Reading railroad on all bust
ness north of Philadelphia, and with
the other trunk lines entering New
York by which all antagonism will
be removed and insure permanent
working Of the Baltimore and Ohio
and harmony with the other trunk
lines.
In addition to these contracts the
lines in process of construction from
Philadelphia to New York will be sus-
pended in their construction, and the
work on Staten Island will also be
stopped. In consideration of these
contracts being signed, and with the
control in their hands, the syndicate
agree to relieve the railroad from the
present embarrassment by providing
$40, 600, 900 with which to take up the
| floating debt. This will be represent
ed by $5,OOO.0O0 in Baltimore ant
Ohio consolidated SIS, and 5000, ,00(
preferred stock.
PRESENT INDEBTEDNESS.
The floating debt as it stands
amounts to $7,OOO,000, and of this
amount 100000 is said to have
matured on the 1st inst.
THE b. & o.'s POSITION.
One of the parties to the syndicate
authorized the following statement as
an outcome of the contract: "The po
sition of the Baltimore and Ohio Road
sas an Ishmalite among the.railroads
as the sleeping-car, express and tele'
graph business is to be transferred
and all outside enterprises will be SOLD
to parties to whom they will be
valuable.
IT'S EMoLUMENTs TRANSFERRED.
The Western Union will control
if it does not buy the telegraph
lines and the Pullman Palace Ca1
Company will take the sleeping cal
business. The express business has
already gone to the United States Elk.
press Company. The affairs of the
railroad company will be entirely re.
organized and placed upon sound
financial basis. These transactions
are construed to mean that the Balti.

of all extraneous enterprises, will be
operated practically by the Pennsyl-

The L,fe-Saving Service.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in an
article on the Life-Saying Service, says
For all this exposure, hardship. and
peril Congress allows these skilled and
daring men day-laborers wages during
nine months of the year and makes
them shift for themselves the rest OF the
time-durng which time also vessels
must take their own chances Of escaping
from the perils Of the coast. The coming
Congress should shame its predecessors
by giving the hfe-saving crews at least
decent compensation and keeping them
III service the year round"
We cordially endorse the recommends
ton of the Inquirer. No set of men
have ever made more heroic record
than have the men of the Life-Saving
Service of the United States. But few
months ago the Emperor of Germany
gave evidence in most substantial form
that he remembered the gallantry of one
Of the crews on the Virginia coast.
That crew went to the relief of Il Ger

Curious Romance OF Love

Crawford. 1t WIS found that he had be-
queathed his entire estate, except 81 1000,
to Miss Kitty lookout, daughter of
John Ct. lookout, a well-known resident,
and almost ignored his own daughter, an
accomplished girl OF twenty-one. As
Miss lookout was comparatively new

indignation. This was intensified by the
fact that Miss lookout tried 10 assume

results Of his research. \ friend who

sary before Il certainty is attained. There
is also the difficulty that no animal is
subject to cancer, though some species
OF animals have diseases closely resem-
bling It.
Even though the discovery is all it
is hoped, it is likely to remain for a
long time as merely of scientific inter-
est. The utmost that can yet be hoped
is that some substance may be discoy-
cred deadly to these organisms but
harmless to the paticnt. incubation rs
practiced for smallpox and attempted
for cholera and hydrophobia is not to be

not sufficiently common 10 make the
prevention by incubation of the masses

Scheurlen is positive regarding his dis
coyery, claiming that there are no loop
holes for mistakes, but before publish
ing his experiments he wishes to submit
them to the profession in Berlin for
Judgment. Cancer, by the way, has long
been supposed TO be the result Of some
micro organism. Several of the most
eminent microscopists have been at work
on the same problem that Scheurlen
hopes he has solved. If this discovery
is genuine it will in ell probability DO
